As the nation remembers Dr. King and his legacy, the center invites the community to learn more about Dr. King and the many others who struggled for equality during the civil rights movement.

The Civil Rights Memorial includes the names of 40 men, women and children slain during the civil rights movement. The memorial, designed by Vietnam Veterans Memorial designer Maya Lin, was dedicated in 1989.

Interactive exhibits within the center provide a hands-on learning experience about the movement. In the center’s theater, visitors can watch the 20-minute film, "Faces in the Water," which presents the stories of several civil rights martyrs.

Before leaving the center, visitors can make a public commitment to the ideals of the movement by adding their names to the Wall of Tolerance, a 20-by-40-foot wall with tens of thousands of digitally projected names.
